nicf.rcgor (o Wuco.
At 12 o'clook Saturday night Dcpu
ty kMietiir W. L. Burko arrived at the
comity jail having in his oustody a
young man and woman whom he had
arrested in McGregor on a ohargo ot
theft of over $21). Tho man wan
locked up in a ceil and tho woman, a
mcro girl, was lodged in a room in
front o: tho jail whero a guard has
been in atteudance. Mr. and Mrs.
A. V Weir, is tho way it appears oti
tho register and this is tho name un
der which the couplo was sailing at
tbeir now homo, McGregor.
Woir soeured tho position of tele
graph operator at McGregor a short
timo ago and ho and his young wife
have been living at that plaoo. Sat
urday morning three or four mon ar
rived at McGregor and went before
Justice Norton and made complaint
against Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Weir lor
theft of clothing from a lady passen
ger on tho Fort Worth and Denver
railroad. A scaroh warrant was ob
tained and tho trunk belonging to
Mrs. Weir was soarched. The evi
dence adduced at tho examining trial
before Jus-.ioe Norton was sufficient to
warrant, so that official thought, fixing
tho bonds of defendants at 1000,
eaoh. They could not give the bond
and Deputy Sheiifl Burko hired a
back and brought them to Waco.
Mr. Woss Hitiley of McGregor ao
compaoied Officer Burko with his
priboners. In conversation with tho
young woman she mentioned tho fact
that -he never was under arrest before
but once and then she was a little
girl and was guarded all night
ono night with her mother
in a tent. Mr. Hanloy was onoe a
member of the Ranger force, and an
inoidentin his It lo while then ongaged
flashed into his mind
"Where was that" ho said to Miss
Weir.
"It was in Wiohita county, Texas"
she replied.
"Yoa, and I am one of tho mon who
guardod yon and your mother all night
in tho tont," said Mr. Hanley.
Mr. and her husbond, who
lived there in Wiohita, county wero
charged, jointly with conspiring t')
defraud, in that thoy, by fraudulent
representations obtained the payment
of money by tho United States gov
ernment. Mrs was arrested and
her little girl, now Miss Weir,
and in tho McLennan county jail was
allowed to remain with her mother
and tho two guarded in a tont at
Witohita all night one night, and tho
noxt day turnod over to tho sheriff by
tho Ksnrjcrs. Ths woman escaped
from the sheriff and was afterward
rearrested in Austin, tried and ac
quitted. Her husband was never found
and tho woman, mother of tha girl
is in Waoo now, haviug beon summon
ed hore from San Antonio, whe re eho
now lives.
A News reporter called at the jail
today and found Mrs. Woir
and her mother together. Thoy
at once began to beseooh
Tiifl News mas to publish nothing
Very little was gluaoed from the
prisoner, and tho reporter was com
pelled to rely upon other souroes for
what information is hero given.
It seems as though Mrs. Weir
has been an inmate of- a oonvent at
Austin, and her mother thought sho
was still under its protecting influ
ences. Sho was notified by telegram
of tho troublo her d-ughtor waB in,
and came up last night. She did
not know her daughtor was married,
and as sbo is under age there will
probably be some inquiry about her
manner of esoapo from tho oonvent
at Austin, and her marriage with
Weir.
D ot delay. Get yon a plaoo for a
home. You can buy a lot in the
Kirkpatriok addition for what you
pond in lottery tickets young man.
Ono thousand peoplo can secure
homes in tho Kirkpatriok addition,
and at tho prices of these lots thero is
no ono so poor but ho can buy. They
win uo soiu on very oa9y terms.

bTRIKE UNCHANGED.
Negotiations Ponding Between the
Different Labor Organizations.
Thero was no train in last night on
the Aransas Pass for tho reason that
the Company do not run trains on
Sunday. Ever offort is being mado
now to sottlo the strike but with little
to iuspiro hopy. A committeo was
appointed by the labor meeting in
Houston, Saturday night left for Sun
Antonio jesterday evening and
are now in San Antonio They are:
James Archer of tho Older of Ilail
WHy Conduoiors, ohaiimm; Ed L.
Mrtgers of the Order ot Rti.way Tole
graphers, Henry Daniels of tho
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
Dan Moody of the Brotherhood of
Looomotivo Firemen, John Malono of
the Switchmun's mutual aid associa
tion, and T Williams, maohiuist, all
of the Southern Pucitio road. While
at tho depot, Chairman Archer stated
that tho mistdnu was ono of peaco.
They were anxious to seo this trouolo
settled and intended to work earnestly
to have it done From this stand
point he regarded it as suicidal for
them to do anything eUe.
Ti.e situation is gradually tending
toward that point whero either war or
peace must prevail. The railway
companies have notified their em
ployes that under tho law tho railroad
companies aro compelled to handlo
eaoh other's businoM and tho employes
havo notified tho companies that they
will not handlo the Stu Antonio and
Aransas Pasi supplies or freight.
Tho Intornaiional truffle manage
mpnt, yesterday, gave notification to
its employes thai they would be
r quired to handlo all freight without
distinction, and tho railway employes
are equally determined not to handle
supplies or freight for tho
Arancas Pass road. This determina
tion has been rcaohed at a Forics of
meetings held t vaiious places and
pledges to that effect havo been made
If this settlement is not reached the
t'e-up whioh will likely be the result
bids fair to outrival tho gcnoral strike
of some years ago.
ANOTHER JUMBO.
Tho Thlra Geyser for the Waco
Water and Power
Company.
At about eirht o,olock Baturday
night, tho drill in tho well being
bored by the Waoo Wator and
Power company, struck the strong
flow and tho puro artesian water
Bushed up from 1821) feet below.
The wator is the same temperature
as all the othor wells in, and
about Waoo, and the volumo of water
is thought to bo greater than any
woll yet drilled hero as it comes from
an eight inch hole.
The water was turned into tho sys
tem yesterday and that company ser
ves nothing but pure artesian water to
its customers.

HIS TlrHt" Mile.
Cwnton, Mo., Jnn. 11. Phineas John
son of Henry county is 83 years old,
and Tuesday ho took his first rido
on a railroad train. Ho enmo into
Clinton to apply for a pension and would
havo filed his application long ago if ho
had not dreaded tho risk incident to a
rido on tho rnilroad curs, but hearing
that other loyalists would get all tho
money in tho treasury beforo ho mus
tered up courngo to make tho trip he
summoned all his fortitude, boarded tho
train and rodo into Clinton in safety.
Mr. Johnson said that ho witnessed tho
building of tho second railroad con
structed in tho United States, but that
ho has never had any desire or inclina
tion to rido on tho nowfangled things,
and that nothing less than tho hope of
getting a pension to remunerate him for
having fought and bled for his country
would havo tompted him to go on board
the traiiu.

Letter From Judge Gerald to the
McLennan Democraoy.
To the Democracy of McLennan County:
A meeting will bo held in Waoo
next Saturday to take steps to ascer
tain the will of the people in regard
to their choice for United States sen
ator, should an extra session bo
called. I hope that ovory Democrat
in the oounty who oan, will bo present.
It is asserted, and believed, that all
the opponents of Col. Mills will be
here, and it behooves his friends to be
hore aho. I, as your representative,
only ask that a full and fair expression
of the will of the party bo arrived at
and I will bow to tho will of the ma
jority. While it is woll-known that I
prefer Col. Mills to any other man
living, yet if I knew ho was not the
choice of a majority of my party, I
would surrender my choice, and oithcr
vote for the man who was tho choioo
of tho majority or resign my office.

raigned ihis morning upon the ohargo
of unlawfully going into a public

what to do. Assistant oity marshal
informed tho court that he had but
recently turned thorn out of tho cala
boose for tho reason that they
wero an expenso to tho oity in feeding
them, and that they woro paying up
their back indebtedness by weekly in

der all tho circumstances, that fines of
$1 eaoh would bo sufficient, and so
decided.
